Uninstall MP!L, then delete the folder, C:/program files/ and find messenger plus live, then reinstall =p Should work. :)

RE: Password Problem
if it is definately the preferences password and you are confident in changing things in the registry try this.

Exit out of messenger -> Start -> Run -> type "regedit" (without quotes) -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Patchou -> Messenger Plus! Live -> <your email goes here> -> Prefernces -> EnablePreferencesLock -> right click on it and select modify -> and set value data to 0 -> exit out of registry -> start messenger

Because Duck's method is wrong... :P

Just reinstalling Plus! will not remove or overwrite the preferences.

Removing the directory isn't needed either (even not with errors or whatever as reinstalling will overwrite existing corrupted files anyways).

Even MattyRid's method is not entirly correct. That is, you do not need to close or restart Messenger. Instead follow these instructions: 'CookieRevised's reply to Preferences Password'.

??? Where did you typed 'regedit'?

You need to click on your Windows Start button.
Then select 'Run' en in the input field type 'regedit' (without the quotes) and press enter.
